ESPN’s College GameDay broadcast every Saturday during football season always has a special guest picker, but this week, it had an extra special guest who absolutely delighted fans.
Terry Saban — who’s been married to Nick Saban for more than 50 years — was GameDay‘s guest picker No. 2 Georgia against No. 4 Alabama in Week 5, and, to no one’s surprise, she turned out to be one of the best guest pickers of all time. Miss Terry, as she’s known, seemed nervous but in a sweet way, and Nick seemed nervous in more of a slightly terrified way, as the pair sat side by side.
While seemingly charming everyone watching, Miss Terry showed off her extensive football knowledge, made some solid picks and had cute back-and-forths with her husband, who’s now a regular on the show after retiring as Alabama’s football coach.
It was wonderful and hilarious at times, like when she was hiding her picks from Nick:

And when she literally gasped when Nick picked UCF over Deion Sanders’ Colorado team:

She also actually got to enjoy the tailgating scene now that her husband is no longer on the sidelines:

Miss Terry on GameDay was must-see TV for diehard college football fans, who loved her appearance as a guest picker — especially the Alabama fans, obviously.
